Hiccup Remedy Update

I had a serious case of the hiccups yesterday which afforded me the opportunity to try out some of the "proven" remedies that I posted last week from the New England Journal of Medicine.  Tickling the roof of my mouth where the hard palate meets the soft palate  didn't work.   Placing my finger in my ear didn't work.  Since I was out and about when the hiccups struck, I didn't have a teaspoon of sugar with me in order to try the third method.  I think I will start carrying a packet of sugar with me just in case. 

Please post any treatments that you have had success with, since my hiccups lasted over twenty minutes this time I am desperate to find an effective remedy.  Hiccups can be so annoying!

Some Proven Cures for the Hiccups

I suffer from some pretty intense, loud and long lasting hiccups so when I came across this information I thought that I would pass it on to others who are also afflicted. 

The New England Journal of Medicine reports these as proven remedies for hiccups:   eating a teaspoon of sugar, tickling the roof of your mouth where the hard palate meets the soft palate with a Q-tip, or placing your finger in your ear.  I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.  I will let you know if they work for me.  Let me know if they work for you.
